A new poll shows that the US is losing credibility among its traditional western partners, who are beginning to view Washington as an “unreliable ally,” POLITICO reported on 12 February. Among Canadians, French, and Germans, “Far more people described the U.S. as an unreliable ally than a reliable one,” the US-based news outlet wrote, citing a poll conducted by London-based Public First. “American credibility was highest in the U.K., but only by comparison,” POLITICO added. Only 35 percent of respondents in the UK said the US was a reliable ally, while 39 percent said it was unreliable.

Wolves Crying Wolf: Canada, Denmark, Etcetera

January 28, 2026 Indrajit Samarajiva, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Canada, Denmark, Imperialism, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Rules-based Order

People like Canada's Mark Carney are crying foul about the demise of the ‘rules-based order’ now, over fucking Greenland, and not over the whole Palestinian genocide he just merrily supplied and supported, or any number of atrocities Canada has been involved in, including Canada. White people really want to do crime and high-fives for confessing. I hope America does take Canada, to cure them of their delusion of being the ‘good guys’ of colonialism. I say this as a passport-carrying Canadian. Carney's ‘speech of the century’ isn't worth the dust on a Palestinian fighter's sandals.

Denmark's AkademikerPension pension fund plans to dump its US treasury holdings by the end of the month, citing concerns over US creditworthiness under President Donald Trump, and his threats against Greenland, Bloomberg reported on 20 January. “The US is basically not a good credit and long-term the US government finances are not sustainable,” the fund’s chief investment officer, Anders Schelde, stated, adding that the policies pursued by Trump have created credit risks that the fund can no longer ignore. AkademikerPension manages around $25 billion in savings for teachers and academics.

He said all 27 EU leaders would attend the summit.

Rasmussen said the US remained fixed on acquiring the Arctic territory, despite Danish objections and warnings that such a move would violate sovereignty and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination. “We did not manage to change the American position,” he told reporters after the meeting in Washington. Present at the talks were Rasmussen, Greenland’s Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt, US Vice President JD Vance, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

July 7, 2025 Kurt Cobb, Resilience. Create! Artificial Intelligence, Data, Denmark, Privacy

Denmark has decided to take the first step toward protecting Danes’ personal information by giving them ownership rights to their own image and voice. The Danish culture minister told The Guardian: “In the bill we agree and are sending an unequivocal message that everybody has the right to their own body, their own voice and their own facial features, which is apparently not how the current law is protecting people against generative AI.” The purpose is to prevent “deep fakes” of an individual and to force such “deep fakes” to be taken down when an individual requests it. Under the law those violating it may have to pay compensation.

Greenland’s Self-Determination Can Be Exercised Only From Nuuk

March 6, 2025 Workers World. Resist! Arctic, Denmark, Donald Trump, Greenland, US Imperialism

Greenland and the Greenlandic people have been brutally thrown into the political scene. Trump’s repeated statements that the U.S. wants to control and own Greenland — by military means if necessary — come at a time of great upheaval in the imperialist system. These statements are part of U.S. imperialism’s desperate attempt to maintain its declining political and economic power. They are an expression of pure imperialist superpower politics against the Greenlandic people. That Trump is prepared to start an imperialist war is an unprecedented provocation. It is a war of conquest and plunder to control Greenland in an attempt to create a Fortress USA from Greenland and Canada across Mexico to Panama.

Nordic Countries Surrender Their Historic Neutrality

December 27, 2023 Muhammed Shabeer, People's Dispatch. Educate! Denmark, Finland, NATO, NATO expansion, Nordic Neutrality, Norway, Russia, Russophobia, Sweden, Ukraine, US Imperialism, War in Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

Most of the Scandinavian countries especially Sweden and Finland had pursued a policy of neutrality towards the US and the erstwhile Soviet Union, and later Russia, since the onset of the Cold War. Despite significant pressure from centrist and center-right sections to join NATO, Finland and Sweden had been committed to formal neutrality for a long time. However the ongoing war in Ukraine has led to a rise in militarism and Russophobia in the region, and sections within the social democratic parties called for NATO membership and an enhanced defense cooperation with the US. NATO has already increased its military footprint in the Baltic region in the garb of aiding Ukraine in the war against Russia.

The Arctic Is The Next Frontier In The New Cold War

The Arctic had once been a largely peaceful zone, harboring cooperative international scientific research. But today, it is swiftly becoming one of militarized power politics. Heavily armed nations surround the melting Arctic Ocean, with its unstable environment of eroding shorelines, accessible natural resources, and contested maritime passages. This February, the U.S. launched little publicized, month-long military exercises in the Arctic, hosted by Finland and Norway. The Pentagon’s European Command described the exercises – named Arctic Forge 23, Defense Exercise North, and Joint Viking – as a way “to demonstrate readiness by deploying a combat-credible force to enhance power in NATO’s northern flank”.

On Wednesday, March 9, the government of Denmark paid an official apology to the Inuit children from Greenland who were part of a failed 1950s social experiment conducted by the Danish government. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Wednesday officially apologized to the six Inuit people still alive among the 22 Inuit children of Greenland who were sent to Denmark as part of the social experiment by the Danish authorities to make those children “model” Greenlanders and to assimilate the Indigenous culture. The Inuit Ataqatigiit (Community of the People) party in Greenland congratulated the Inuit people for their decades-long struggle for justice and dignity which forced the Danish government to finally apologize and offer compensation.
